Had to go in for a root canal today. Booooooo! The doctor said I seemed a little nervous, and asked if I would like the Nitrous Oxide. HELL YES I'd like the Nitrous Oxide! was my response. He hit me up with it, and then left the room momentarily. As soon as he left, I told his assistant "$20 if you increase that gas mix! C'mon, he never has to know!" And to my surprise, she did it! Then another assistant came in and started using the sink, but no one acknowledged her presence in the room. That freaked me out like you wouldn't believe! I thought she was giving me looks, so I asked "Does anybody else see her at the sink??" at which point the doctor said "OK, I think that's enough Nitrous for you..." and turned down my gas. Booooooooo! That stuff is alllllright! When the procedure was finished, I asked for one more hit of Nitrous, just to show there were no hard feelings, but they didn't buy it. All went well, but I don't have feeling on the left side of my face at the moment, which makes it hard to keep liquids in my mouth. How am I going to drink beer tonight????
